Thoughts...

With the impending elections looming ever closer and the "lesser of evils" mentality seeping back in too the American psyche like an old habit the choices, for at least this one cynic seems more clear than usual. Not to say that there has been a massive influx of deserving, less-corrupt (let's be realistic here), political players to make us all feel like there is hope on the horizon. There isn't. Despite a couple of lights that are still on the state/local level, there isn't much to be hopeful of at the moment.
So, how is it that my choices have become easier? Well, with all the hypocritical mudslinging on top of the almost weekly scandal of some Republican from some district the choices seem easy. DO NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN. The Republican scandals have gotten to many to list, and despite being almost unmentioned in the mainstream media have still caught some attention. The latest Foley scandal being the exception to this, nothing sells like sex with younger men.
I'm not saying that if the politician isn't a Repub. than their not without flaws, scandals, skeletons. But as usual the ones casting the most mud seem to be the biggest offenders of what is right and wrong. So, when choosing who to or who not to vote for, look for the name calling, odds are the ones slinging the most arrows are the ones NOT to vote for.
